Squad Leader Spotlight- Education

Aug 28, 2017

At CCG, we are business intelligence experts, analysts, designers, tech junkies, and much more. Our managed teams—which we call “squads”—are made up of many hardworking, talented individuals which make CCG a unique and diverse place to work. Today we are kicking off a monthly series where we ask our squad leaders more about their role and what makes their squad intriguing.

A world traveler but local Floridian, Nicole Crozier leads the Education Squad at CCG. A graduate of the University of South Florida (Go Bulls!) with a Master’s of Science in M.I.S. and Graduate Certificate in Analytics and Business Intelligence, Nicole launched her IT career in 2009 and has been exceeding expectations ever since. Her career experience ranges in a broad degree of industries, with her initial focus in BI solutions for technology resellers, finance institutions, hospitality, and insurance industries. These days she has been dedicated to the education space where, over the last two years, she has helped school districts and benevolent educational organizations positively impact student outcomes. By bridging technology gaps and getting the necessary information and tools into the hands of educators and educational leaders, her goal and hopes are to directly influence graduation rates and improve the quality of education in the United States.

With the launch of the education squad this past year, the rest of the team is no less than exceptional either. The education squad is made of highly driven individuals passionate about empowering school districts via leadership development solutions and education technology leadership. Some members even have over 25 years of experience in the education space. They thrive on understanding how students learn, what challenges affect school leaders, and how technology innovations such as Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality are affecting the future of learning. The education squad is armed with the latest technologies, such as Microsoft, IBM, Tableau and other cutting edge BI platforms, to support our country’s educators. The Education Squad practices what they preach, always keeping one another accountable for business goals, sharing training resources, and even volunteering together in local communities for the sake of bettering themselves in the same way that they support educators in bettering our future technologists.

We at CCG hope to empower client driven solutions through the power of data and analytics. To hear more from the voices of CCG, click here to read blogs from our employees.
